You are unable to work. Perhaps you have been injured. Or you are ill. Or both. You are becoming more depressed and anxious by the day. You believe that you are entitled to Social Security disability or SSI benefits, but Social Security has turned you down. It is unfair and stressful and unbelievably frustrating. What should you do? Where do you turn?
You can contact a large Social Security law firm that spends thousands of dollars on high-profile advertising. These firms accept virtually all cases but may treat their clients as more of a number than an individual. Once you sign a fee agreement with these firms, your personal contact with an actual attorney may cease until perhaps one hour before you attend a hearing before a Social Security judge.
When you try to reach your attorney at the offices of these firms, you are directed instead to a staff member. Your questions may not be answered promptly or satisfactorily. However, there is an alternative. You can contact the law firm of Andrew Kline.
